Firelight: Noelle is the first in a series of fantasy novels set in the world of the occult in present-day New York City. The story begins in Louisiana, where Noelle, an orphan fairy, is raised as a human. Noelle lives a normal life until she spontaneously flies while playing on the catwalk at a Nutcracker rehearsal. Teenaged Noelle's life becomes more complicated when she discovers she cannot kiss her boyfriend without disastrous consequences. Noelle is blessed with a fairy’s otherworldly beauty, but she morphs into a foul-mouthed wiseass after spending her college years dateless due to her flammability issue. After college, Noelle moves to New York to locate her father's family, discover who she is, and determine if there is someone anywhere she can love without setting the world on fire.

Once she arrives in New York, Noelle is immediately kidnapped by a High Lord of the mega-wealthy Dalca tribe. She is then drafted into the war between three rival Fae tribes – the Dalca, the Grendel, and Noelle’s tribe, the Cielon. The Dalca are the robber barons of the occult world - Black Rock for fairies. They are immune to Noelle’s powers – sex with a Dalca doesn’t ignite an external explosion. The Grendel were expelled from the Dalca tribe in the early 1900s because their reckless gambling endangered the Corporation. The third tribe, the Cielon, are artists, gifted with the storybook fairy powers of flying, fire starting, calling down the rain, and zapping. The Cielon have another gift that should make them the most powerful tribe, but it has turned them into prey. They are long-lived and the only tribe that hasn’t lost its fertility, allowing them to give birth to long-lived magical children.
